VALTRA S260 TIRES
The Valtra S260 tractor, equipped with standard agricultural tires (Front: 480/65R30 and Rear: 520/85R42), offers enhanced stability and traction on various terrains, suitable for heavy fieldwork. The larger rear tires provide improved load-carrying capacity and reduced soil compaction, which is beneficial for maintaining soil health during intensive farming operations. A potential challenge may arise in tighter spaces, as the wider rear tires could limit maneuverability compared to narrower wheel configurations.
